So I promised people I would post pictures of our new house and furniture so here we go. To start off we live in a west district of Berlin called Zehlendorf. It houses the American Embassy and during the Cold War it was where the American base was located.
We live off a quaint German street one block away from the Schlachtensee Lake. Our house is separated into 6 different flats with families from all walks of life. I actually really like living in a shared house because it creates a nice community.
Before we moved here we sold our house and all of our furniture. We only brought an air shipment over with the essentials....toys mainly! Since we did not ship our furniture over the company gave us a nice allotment to buy new furniture (yes I was very excited about this) that we get to bring back home with us! After (too) many long days at IKEA we furnished our house!
Here is a picture of the living/dining room with a balcony overlooking the garden.
Next is the kitchen. We were really lucky to have a kitchen already in place, the majority of time when people move out they take the kitchen (the entire kitchen) with them, and also mirrors, light fixtures, toilet paper holders!
Here is the guestroom, it is pretty small but perfect for guests, a place to put clothes and a bed that pulls out into a queen.
Here is our room. Closets also do not come in the house so you have to get large wardrobe/closet pieces of furniture. (I didn't take a picture of our closets though).
Here is Isaac's room. He moved into a big boy bed when we moved here. He is obsessed with Toy Story.
And here is little Gabe's room.
We still have a few finishing touches to add, but for the most part we are all settled in. We are realizing that we are spoiled here!
With love,
Janelle
